oming the tearful valleys and climbing the peaks to be closer to the stars and God's vast majesty. It was an effort to wrap up painful memories, address attitudes about mental illness and survivors of SEA, sexual exploitation and abuse. The hope is to question the altered state of the worldly and its effects on humanity and raise awareness for those who have yet to find their voice. May this collection leave an impression on the reader and help change public views regarding mental health and the atrocities of all abuse.
